In return, we got loyal friends, half-decent guard dogs, the best bushwalking mates and living blankets for improved napping. According to science, we\u2019ve also been getting<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/why-having-a-pet-is-good-for-your-health\">\u00a0health benefits<\/a> and, most importantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/09\/08\/science\/gregory-berns-dogs-brains.html?mwrsm=Twitter\">some love<\/a>. (At least from the dogs, \u2018cause who knows what goes on in the mind of cats!)<\/p>\n<p>Pets have taught my family how a little empathy, some care and just <em>giving<\/em> can have a huge impact on a life. Their life and ours.<\/p>\n<p>The RSPCA is a flagship institution that helps animals in dire situations, often taking them into their shelters and treating them in their hospitals, and finally brokering the adoption process that will find them a home. If you ask me, that\u2019s straight up God\u2019s work \u2013 selfless giving to the innocent who cannot help themselves. I\u2019m personally very thankful to them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9831\" src=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/tobias.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1425\" height=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias.png 1425w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-1024x510.png 1024w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-768x383.png 768w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-500x249.png 500w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-250x125.png 250w, https:\/\/edgeenvironment.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/11\/tobias-400x199.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edge Environment\u2019s monthly \u2018Make More Good\u2019 donation sends $300 to a worthy cause nominated by a staff member.
